I am a boy
A very lonesome boy
Abandoned by the world
I am on an island of solitude
With no way out
It's a prison
A prison where the raging sea
Is my prison wall
And the night sky my ceiling
With the hard rock
And itching leaves
As my pillow and blanket
While the ground my mattress
I am a boy
A very lonesome boy
On an island of solitude

I am a boy
A very lonesome boy
Abandoned by the world
I am on an island of solitude
With no way out
It's a prison
A prison where the raging sea
Is my prison wall
And the night sky my ceiling
With the hard rock
And itching leaves
As my pillow and blanket
While the ground my mattress
I am a boy
A very lonesome boy
On an island of solitude
